The charge of being foolish (spiritually and intellectually) is used to argue that Muhammad was not guided by an omniscient God, but was instead a man prone to gross errors, superstition, and manipulation.
- The Satanic Verses: The most devastating evidence of his lack of spiritual discernment is the incident where he initially recited verses praising three pagan goddesses (al-Lat, al-Uzza, and Manat), only to later claim Satan had deceived him. Polemicists argue that a true prophet must be able to distinguish between the voice of the Creator and the voice of the Adversary. If he could be tricked into preaching polytheism once, the integrity of the entire Quran is compromised.
- Misunderstanding the Trinity: Surah 5:116 is used to argue that Muhammad believed Christians worshipped Mary as a deity alongside God and Jesus.
- Gullibility (The "Ear"): Surah 9:61 is cited, where hypocrites call Muhammad textUdhun ("the Ear"), suggesting he was easily manipulated.
- Anatomical Error: Surah 86:5-7 is cited to show a mistaken view that seminal fluid issues "from between the backbone and the ribs."
- Cosmological Error: Surah 18:86 is cited for the narrative where the sun appears to set "in a spring of dark mud."
- Indecent Practice: (Adult Breastfeeding): Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1453 is referenced to document the practice of creating foster-kinship by breastfeeding adults
These points demonstrate that Muhammad was a man who lacked the "sound mind" promised by the Holy Spirit. His inability to understand basic biology, his gullibility toward his peers, and his failure to recognize satanic influence characterize him as a figure who was intellectually and spiritually out of his depth.
